When you live in Rochester, Minnesota, your HVAC system works harder than in most places in the country. From October through April, your furnace runs almost continuously to keep your family comfortable through subzero winters. From May through September, your air conditioning battles Minnesota's humid summer heat. All that air circulation means every speck of dust, pollen, pet dander, and construction debris in your ductwork gets pushed through your home over and over again.
MedCity Duct Cleaning serves Rochester homeowners who want cleaner air and a more efficient HVAC system. We are a locally owned company based right here in Rochester, and we have been cleaning ducts in homes from Pill Hill to Kutzky Park, from historic bungalows near downtown to brand-new construction in the northwest subdivisions since 2016. Our owner Brian personally handles or oversees every job, using professional-grade Rotobrush technology with HEPA filtration to remove years of accumulated dust, allergens, and debris from your ductwork.
Rochester's unique housing landscape — everything from century-old homes near Silver Lake to developments that broke ground last year — means duct cleaning needs vary widely. Older homes often have decades of dust buildup and outdated duct systems that were never properly sealed. Newer homes frequently need cleaning sooner than you would expect, thanks to construction dust that settles into brand-new ductwork before the drywall even goes up. Whether you are in a 1920s craftsman on the southwest side or a recently built home near Quarry Hill, we understand what Rochester homes need.
As a community built around the Mayo Clinic, Rochester residents tend to be particularly health-conscious. You know that indoor air quality matters, especially if you have young children, aging parents, allergies, asthma, or pets. Clean air ducts are not just about efficiency — they are about the air your family breathes every single day.

Why Rochester Homes Need Duct Cleaning
Minnesota's extreme climate puts exceptional stress on home HVAC systems. When outdoor temperatures swing from -20°F in January to 90°F and humid in July, your heating and cooling system runs far more than in moderate climates. That means more air circulating through your ducts, and more opportunity for contaminants to spread through your home. Every time your furnace kicks on during a long Rochester winter, it is pushing air through whatever has accumulated in your ductwork — dust, pollen, mold spores, pet hair, insulation fibers, even mouse droppings if you have had rodent issues.
Rochester's housing stock presents unique challenges. If you live in one of the older homes in neighborhoods like Slatterly Park or near downtown, your ductwork may have been installed 50, 75, or even 100 years ago. Older duct systems often have loose connections, damaged insulation, and decades of accumulated debris. Meanwhile, Rochester's explosive growth driven largely by Mayo Clinic expansion means thousands of new homes have gone up in the past decade. New construction almost always needs duct cleaning within the first year or two, because drywall dust, sawdust, and construction debris inevitably end up in ductwork before the home is even finished.
The Mayo Clinic connection means Rochester attracts residents who prioritize health and wellness. Indoor air quality is a health issue, not just a comfort issue. The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, and in a climate where we spend 6 to 8 months with our windows closed, that matters. If you or anyone in your household deals with allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities, dirty ductwork actively works against you.
Rochester's rapid development also means construction dust is everywhere. If you live within a few blocks of new development — and that describes much of northwest, southwest, and northeast Rochester — your home is exposed to construction dust that finds its way inside. Even if your windows are closed, HVAC intake vents can pull in dust from outside. Combine that with normal household dust, pet dander, and the byproducts of cooking and living, and your ducts accumulate debris faster than you might think.

“Brian did an excellent job cleaning our ducts in our 1950s home near Kutzky Park. We had lived here five years and never had it done — I honestly didn't think it would make much difference. But the amount of dust he pulled out was shocking, and our furnace runs noticeably quieter now. He showed up on time, explained everything he was doing, and the price was very fair. I would recommend MedCity to anyone in Rochester.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about air duct cleaning in Rochester, MN.
Most residential duct cleaning jobs in Rochester range from $300 to $600, depending on the size of your home, the number of registers and returns, and how many floors you have. We provide free inspections and custom quotes based on your specific home with no surprise charges. We also offer a price match promise on all residential quotes, so if you receive a lower written estimate from a licensed competitor, we will match it.
Most Rochester homes should have ducts cleaned every 3 to 5 years. However, you may need cleaning sooner if you have pets, if you have recently completed a remodeling project, if someone in your home has allergies or asthma, or if you have never had your ducts cleaned. Older homes with original ductwork often benefit from more frequent cleaning, especially if you notice dust buildup around registers or musty odors when the furnace kicks on.
Our standard residential duct cleaning in Rochester includes cleaning all supply and return ducts, registers, grills, and diffusers using our Rotobrush system with HEPA filtration. We also inspect your ductwork with camera equipment to identify problem areas. We do not use harsh chemicals or sealants unless you specifically request them, and our mechanical cleaning process is thorough and safe for your home.
Spring and fall are ideal times for duct cleaning in Rochester, because your HVAC system is between heating and cooling seasons. However, we work year-round and can clean ducts any time that is convenient for you. Many homeowners schedule cleaning in late winter after months of furnace use, or in early fall before the heating season starts. Same-day service is often available, so you do not need to plan weeks in advance.
